Nikon is showing the Nikon Z9 with special Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) technology during the Adobe MAX 2022 creative conference this week, according to an official announcement from Nikon.
Nikon says the feature complies with the standards of the Content Origin and Authenticity Alliance (C2PA), an open technical standards body that develops technical standards for authenticating the origin and provenance of digital content in order to combat image falsification and unauthorized use.
According to the report, recent years have seen an increase in misinformation, plagiarism and copyright infringement, all of which can be attributed to image falsification and unauthorized use.2021 In October, Nikon became the camera manufacturer to join both the CAI and C2PA organizations.
Nikon is currently developing a feature to support the confirmation of the authenticity of images through additional information, including the source and provenance of the image. Facilitating the detection of image forgery and unauthorized use, as well as authenticity checks, will help prevent the misuse of images. Nikon will address issues related to forgery and unauthorized use of images by further developing the image provenance function.
It should be noted that Nikon stated that the purpose of the exhibition was to announce that the image provenance function is currently under development. The use of the Nikon Z9 at this exhibition does not imply or suggest that this model will be equipped with this feature in the future.
